Not really: You can perform breast self examinations, but you would only be able to feel a sizeable mass that had already formed. Need to combine self examinations with yearly physical examination with your doctor and yearly mammogram after age 40.

Breast cancer: Although many people recommend self breast exams, there is not scientific evidence to support doing self breast exams.
